Apps Co-exist with Existing User Apps

Mobile Learning Suite

OMLET- the Open Mobile Learning Toolkit. OMLET consists of 3 separate components: 1: Online Catalogue (Web platform): allows uploading, downloading and sharing of mobile content, exposing web services to allow smoother access from the mobile apps, as well as reporting on progress and usage (if required). Also supports integration with tradition e-learning platforms, or any other reporting and/or authentication services 2: Mobile Apps (Mobile platform): apps for both iOS and Android that support content download and playback, as well as managing login and activity tracking in-app. The apps works happily both on- and off-line 3: Content API and guidelines: OMLET supports any browser based content (using WebKit) as well as other natively supported formats (like ePub). You are free to build any type of tool, or content you chose as a stand alone package, but also have access to additional APIs that expose access to native services within the app, like data storage, camera, gps, tracking, user authentication etc. Ref:
